Mediation

Mediators are a neutral party who help parties clear up misunderstanding, determine their concerns, and resolve conflict. At Center for Family Connections (CFC), all mediators are Rule 31 Listed in Family Mediation. We can assist in resolving issues surrounding divorce, custody and parenting plans.

Safe Exchange

When parents have conflict in their relationship, there should be safety measures in place to protect their children. The CFC staff help protect children from being in the middle of conflict between parents by facilitating their safe transition from one parent to the other parent during designated visitation times. The child is safely transitioned between the parents without the parents coming in contact with one another at times determined by court orders, parenting plans or self-referrals.

Supervised Visitation

When there is conflict in a family, including divorce or separation, issues of substance abuse, or other domestic violence, time for parents or other relatives with their child(ren) can become problematic. CFC provides a warm and safe environment for children to visit non-custodial parents or other relatives. Visits can be 1-2 hours and our staff can accommodate a maximum of two visits per week, per family. A trained visitation monitor is present during each visit. Supervised visitation may be court ordered or self-referred.
